“I don’t care what they tell you at school. Cleopatra is black”. Well no she wasn’t, I don’t know why should we believe the writers of this show and not believe what historians have been saying for all these years. If you do a documentary then stick to historical facts instead of forcing a western political agenda on Egypt’s history. And don’t try to make us look racist. We love our fellow Nubians who are black but Cleopatra was Greek. Egyptians have a wide spectrum of skin colours and we can’t simplify it by classifying ourselves into black and white, this binary doesn’t make any sense when you talk about Egyptians. And no we weren’t ok with Gal Gadot playing Cleopatra either.
